yes i know how spread spectrum schemes work, but this is not really practical or relevant here

for spread spectrum things to work you need some wide bandwidth, this works great for microwaves where you can spread your 90GHz band signal so that it covers 5GHz, you can't have a signal centered on 5MHz that is 5GHz wide; HF is relevant because while microwaves work with this microwaves are line of sight only and most people's line of sight still terminates in their own country. if you live on a lone hill next to border good for you, but the rest would need to use HF to get out, and there's simply not that much bandwidth available in the first place, which would make any scheme like this extremely slow if at all viable. and you can still jam it

i don't assume that satellite repeaters would be a viable option because satellite, or any other receiving party for that matter, would need to be aware of modulation scheme to receive it in the first place, so it only works if your international contacts are pre-arranged, and even then you need radio that has much larger bandwidth that is usually available. yapping on LSB or narrow digimodes will get you heard within continental range, but also it will get you noticed, but if you hide from your adversary you also hide from everyone else not in the know. and even then, you can still get noticed, because it's under noise level only at some distance from you

also some of these schemes require precise time to be known, and if you have gps jammed you'll get extra problems from that

ranked competitive version is called foxhunting and even kid can do it

you're also a shining beacon every second you transmit and even states with moderate capabilities record their radio spectrum 24/7 even during peacetime

agree on uncensorable but keep in mind ham radio is antiprivate by design - every time you say your callsign you sign off

you need really spicy photons for activation to happen

in space you also have protons some with relatively high energy. most of these come from solar wind and also can cause activation

shooting down bosses stupid ideas is #1 productivity tip for professionals (like most people on lemmy are)

that town is just a bit north to border with chechenya, going in straight line from there to teheran overflies only russian, azeri and iranian airspace. the only nato member nearby is turkey, and you have to go out of the way to hit it. azeri-iranian relations are suboptimal, but even then they can go over caspian if they want to avoid it

map would explain it much better

dude, people join irl face to face cults, of course they do
